Late last month, we reported that Capcom were planning a Wii title similar to Lost Planet and Bionic Commando which would be announced over the coming weeks. Shortly after our story, Capcom announced the madcap Saturday morning TV style title Spyborgs, leading us to believe that Spyborgs was indeed the mysterious "or something like that" title. How wrong we were.

Issue #25 of NGamer Magazine features a very small preview of Spyborgs, with an enigmatic quote nestled within. "There's a bullet with our name on it if we speak of their ultra top secret Wii title (a surprising take on a next-gen favourite), so we'll stick to the safer, though still intruiging, Spyborgs."

A new take on a next-gen favourite? Bionic Commando and Lost Planet are definite possibilities then. Just to get you salivating like a rabid dog over the possibilities, we hear Devil May Cry 4, Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5 and Dead Rising have quite a fan following as well.

Well, the fact that it's a "surprising take" means that they actually did some research on the title, instead of throwing one of their franchises and add waggle, which can only mean good things. I'm all for devs reinventing their franchises.

Listen GAF. If you think "a surprising take on a next-gen favorite" means anything other than "disappointing spinoff with waggle," you are really setting yourselves up for disappointment.

I hope I'm wrong, but 3rd-parties really haven't proved anything on the Wii at all. Originals have been great, the ports have been good to below-average, but the spinoffs have been complete trash and we all know it.

Out of all the 3rd parties so far, I'd say Capcom is most deserving of people's faith:

RE4 while a port was probably the most well done port yet.

RE:UC turned into a solid project

Zack and Wiki is probably the most acclaimed 3rd party original game (along with Boom Blox)

Okami was brought to Wii even though it was very difficult to do so

And Monster Hunter 3, a legitimately big franchise in Japan is a Wii exclusive.

I guess my point is, even a Capcom "spin off" has the potential to be very good.

A hell of a thing to say about the best 3rd party on the Wii. It is the case with 99% of the Wii third parties, but you really need to not let that stop you from giving that lonely 1% the credit it deserves here. Capcom has done right by the Wii moreso than any of the others, And even the spin off UC was decent. If there were ever a 3rd party you should actually GET a little hope for its them.

Imagine: Next-Gen Gamez
Features characters and locations of games as Dead Rising or Resident Evil 5 in an all-new party-game with intuitive waggle controls to offer the Wii owner glimpses of the real games never appearing on his own console.

a few people are saying lost planet .. but i'm just thinking that it is odd for them to choose to say they were planning a title "similar to lost planet and bionic commando" if they were talking about lost planet itself

They didn't say that, I'm pretty sure. The text within the quotation marks is NGamers, the rest is probably from a website or something.

Edit: Or not. I don't really understand the context of the quote to be honest.
